San Xavier del Bac

San Xavier del Bac, also known as the White Dove of the Desert, is a beautiful historic mission located just outside of Tucson, Arizona. This impressive building has been standing for over 200 years, making it one of the oldest Spanish colonial missions in the United States. It was founded by the Jesuit missionary, Father Eusebio Kino, in 1692 and has been a functioning church for the Tohono O'odham and Catholic communities ever since.

The mission's stunning Baroque architecture and intricate interior designs are a testament to the incredible craftsmanship of Native American and European artisans. The mission's unique blend of Spanish, Moorish, and Native American styles truly stands out among the Sonoran Desert landscape. As visitors explore the mission, they can learn about its rich history and cultural significance to the Tohono O'odham people. It is also a prime location for spiritual reflection and quiet contemplation.

San Xavier del Bac is not only a historical gem but also a great example of the rich cultural diversity and intermingling of different communities in the Southwest. Whether you are interested in architecture, art, or religious history, a visit to this mission is not to be missed. So, come and experience the beauty and significance of San Xavier del Bac for yourself.
